you need a DVB-C card at least, the rest can be done though software.

for sky you still need all the equipment except the set top box which can be substituted for a DVB-S2 card

No, no and NO! You need a DVB-C capture card, smartcard (possibly a CAM as well) and software. I use TVCatchup - Never Miss A Show Again which allows you to watch freeview channels online and the quality is quite good too.
